I made a custom phrase group called "vbms" ("vBulletin Mail System" as the title) and an ID of 5000 and added it to the phrasetype table. I added a phrase via the admin CP frontend. I also added a phrasetype_vbms column to the language table and rebuilt all languages. Finally I used $phrasegroups = array("vbms"); before including global.php and used $vbphrase[other_vbms_links] within a custom template. The phrase text doesn't show up; neither does anything else.

Ideas?

5000 is already used by vbulletin for the "vBulletin Settings", unless you want to add your options to vb's options then I suggest you may want to do as KirbyDE suggested. Just look at the table "phrasetypes" to see what is used and what vb has reserved for future use.
